Abstract:Vaccination with different heat shock proteins (HSP60, HSP65) prevented the development of low-dose streptozotocin (STZ)-induced autoimmune diabetes in C57BL/ KSJ mice. The aim of our work was to examine whether the vaccination with HSP65 can prevent the well-known cardiac electrophysiological characteristics of diabetes. The electrophysiological effects of dofetilide (a class III antiarrhythmic drug) were also studied. Diabetes was induced by a low dose of STZ (3 × 30 mg/kg i.p.), the vaccination with HSP65 (… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
